SONG OF THE WEEK


USA Today now listing Mercy, Mercy the new USA single from Jeff Lynne's Long Wave as Song of the Week:
How would '60s Southern R&B have sounded with Jeff Lynne helming the production? Much like the Traveling Wilburys, if his remake of Don Covay & the Goodtimers' 1964 R&B chart-topper is any indication. The first single from covers album Long Wave, out Oct. 9, has that distinctive Lynne production: the gated snare drum, the raspy stacked vocals. And just wait till you hear what he does with Bobby Darin's Beyond the Sea and Etta James' At Last.

What does that mean by "first" single? The first one to be available for download?

Point taken... it's just how its being marketed though we have yet to see a single of any sort at all.
